Houston, TX – Bas Rutten’s L.A. Anacondas had a point to prove Friday night against the defending champion Silverbacks, and after an exhilarating 3-2 team victory they have the satisfaction they were denied in 2006, even if they don’t have the rings.

“This was the finals for us,” said coach Rutten after the victory. “In our minds now, we’re the champions. We don’t need a ring. We’re going to take it, but we don’t need it.”

The Anacondas certainly fought as if the championship was on the line, twice battling back from what looked like certain defeat.
